Suspiria has some of the most memorable and intense music for a horror film - however, some people I've watched it with said the music ruined the experience, saying it was too loud, too excessive and in the end, just plain annoying/distracting.

I loved the music myself, but for me one of the most effective bits in the film was when there was no music at all. It's when Sara has locked herself in the room and the killer is trying to unlatch the lock with his razor by putting it through the keyhole and lifting the latch. After the assault of the music, this scene with just her whimpers and the scraping of the razor is the scariest moment in the film. And all with no music! However, I don't think it would have been as scary had not there been so much music beforehand...
